All things said and done, this is by far the best place I’ve stayed at. I’m not talking about the amenities and the type of rooms. My visit to this hotel has been memorable because of the service. I really love the way I was treated. Love, respect and hospitality. I must say, if there’s one thing the Royal Oak Inn does right it’s hospitality. The front desk agent, Shaz, really did a good job and made sure he never said no any of my requests. He really understands the meaning of going above and beyond and has always exceeded expectations. Hats off!!!

The rooms were clean and the staff very helpful, but for two nights we had people in the room next to us arguing and talking loudly from about 2am till 6am 1st night and second night 2am and still going when we checked out at 6am next morning. The walls are very thin and you could hear everything. Safe to stay in at night, but do not walk around the area as we were told by uber and taxi drivers.

Three things to consider about the Royal Oak... The hotel indicates in the Orbitz website that it offers free brekfast and is NOT TRUE. They don't even have anything to offer "just a water dispenser". That is a serios deception that Orbitz needs to take in consideration. The second factor about the hotel, it doesn't have an elevator, so if you are staying in the third floor prepare yourself. The fornt desk lady try to help. But the narrow staircase make it very difficult. Third factor and the Hotel picures in Orbitz give you an impression that is not real about the location (too many homeless and drug addicts in the vicinity).

Yes it’s good

BEWARE: you have to walk through a CROWD of druggies acting like fools to get to the “hotel” - once inside the room smelled like fresh paint. In fact, the paint was so fresh my daughter got paint on her 😅 (what are they hiding?) - jump back before we got into the room, we couldn’t get checked in until MY 14 YEAR OLD daughter showed ID. What 14 year old has an ID? Terrible check in process. Thankfully we were only there to sleep & shower. Max 10 hours!! Will not be staying here again!

The description of the rooms were misleading. Our room did not have a refrigerator to start. Obtaining linen and towels seems to be a difficult task. All of our chargers were overheating immediately so that tells me something is wrong with the electrical. Our room did not actually lock, the door could have been easily pulled open if needed. I’ve never felt more dirty after leaving an establishment. There was a drain randomly in the middle of the bathroom floor where the cover kept coming off and me and my boyfriend almost sliced our feet a few times on it. There was mould in the washroom and an awful smell of must and bleach in the whole building. Would not recommend. Not to mention two people don’t have room to stand up in the room at the same time..

The staff and room was great especially for the cost vs the rest of the area- only word of caution is that you are about a city block to the East outside of the “nicer” area. Not a big deal- we walked west toward Jarvis/Yonge once and caught the bus the rest of the time. Even around midnight. I just wouldn’t bring my kids here to stay but for adults it works good!

Need more parking, room was really stuffy. Need more tables/ desks in the rooms since the bathroom has no counter space. Nowhere to put your things but the floor.

Room was not very nice as bathroom was inadequate and tv did not work as well as no instructions on how to use it. Plug was broken in room and was a problem as it was the only plug other than bathroom

No parking on site. You have to pay for off site. They had breakfast included when I reserved the room but have since cancelled it. It’s a cheap room in the city that’s close to a lot of stuff. You get what you pay for

Our room was never held because there was an issue with my credit card and I was not contacted to fix it. We ended up stranded in the city and had to drive home. Staff was unapologetic and unhelpful.

There was no parking even though it was advertised, and I couldn't warm up my room because the second I turned on the heat it smelled like something was burning.

The room not to wide

Odd little hotel. Not a business class hotel. Not even up to the standard of an average Airbnb - it’s a converted tenement. Barely. They did try.

It was okay

I’ve stayed in worse…usually while camping Sink had hair and clipped hair from (hopefully) the last person. Room wasn’t clean. No amenities - there was a bed a washroom and an ac unit. There was wifi. Bed was made. Sheets were gross. Stains all over them. Not saying I’m going to burn my clothes when I get home - not saying I’m not going to burn them. There is better out there (like a box, or pet carrier) and probably in a better part of town - unless you enjoy watching people on the street openly dealing and doing drugs. The front counter staff were very polite.

Parking was very strange but since we were not driving in town it was adequate. The ventilation in the room was not good. The room was small and one would probably be comfortable if they were staying for a couple days as you adjust to the room size. To be perfectly honest the neighborhood is very dicey and if that bothers one then you should not stay there.

I chose this hotel because it said parking was available. When we arrived to check in after 11pm we were told to go find parking somewhere in the neighbourhood. We had just driven through the neighbourhood and we would not have felt safe walking a couple of blocks with our luggage to get back to the hotel. We decided to just drive 3 hours to get back home. We were charged the security deposit but hoping to get that back.

Room is much smaller than pictures show. Not a very clean room, there were ants in the bathroom. Also not really their fault but it is quite noisy, so be aware of that. Also sketchy area and very limited parking which is not enclosed, it’s on the sidewalk. It’s an okay place for 1 night but wouldn’t really recommend

Property was run down. Very basic. Staff was fine. Neighborhood so so. But it worked. You could hear everything outside your room. Very loud. So if you're a light sleeper , maybe not
